                                 THE ANDERSONS
             NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note A  -   In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of
            normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of
            the results of operations for the periods indicated have been made.

            The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
            statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
            financial statements and notes thereto included in the Partnership's
            annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1993.

Note B  -   No provision has been made for federal income taxes on the
            Partnership's net income since such amounts are includable in the
            federal income tax returns of its partners.

            Provision for federal income taxes is made on the net income or loss
            of the Partnership's corporate subsidiaries, but is insignificant.

Note C  -   The Partnership Agreement reflects each partner's invested capital
            as of the beginning of each year.  Partners' capital used in
            determining the allocation of net income per $1,000 of partners'
            capital is weighted to reflect cash distributions made to partners
            during the year.  The indicated allocations for the three-month
            period ended March 31, 1994 and 1993 are the allocations which would
            have been made had such period constituted an entire fiscal year.


Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
          and Results of Operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

      Partners' capital at March 31, 1994 was $56.6 million, up $1.2 million
from December 31, 1993.  Net income in the first quarter added $2.1 million
to partners' capital and new equity of $734,000 was received at the beginning
of the year.  Decreases to partners' capital included distributions to
partners of $983,000 and equity withdrawals of $604,000.  Quarterly cash
distributions of approximately $325,000 are expected to be paid in June,
September and December of 1994.  A final 1993 tax distribution of
approximately $932,000 was paid in April 1994 and a quarterly tax distribution
of approximately $685,000 was also paid in April.  Additional quarterly tax
distributions of approximately $685,000 are expected to be paid in June and
September 1994 and January 1995.  The remaining cash and tax distributions are
discretionary and can be discontinued or eliminated if operating results are
insufficient to warrant payment.  Withdrawals of capital in 1994 are not
expected to be significant. 

      Short-term lines of credit were $117 million at December 31, 1993 and
were increased on a temporary basis to $142 million during the first quarter
of 1994.  Typically, the Partnership's highest borrowing occurs in the first
quarter due to seasonal inventory requirements in several of the Partnership's
businesses, credit sales in the lawn products and agricultural products
businesses and a customary reduction in grain payables due to customer cash
needs and market strategies.  The Partnership's liquidity is enhanced by the
fact that grain inventories are readily marketable.  The Partnership's
short-term lines of credit were increased by an additional $10 million in
April.  In management's opinion, the Partnership's liquidity is adequate to
meet short-term and long-term needs.

      The Partnership is currently offering Five-Year and Ten-Year debentures
for sale.  In 1994, through April 1, the Partnership sold $500,000 of new
debentures.  The amount of proceeds to be realized for the full year 1994 from
the sale of the debentures is unknown since the offering is not underwritten. 
Any proceeds realized will be added to working capital and used for such
purposes as the funding of current maturities of long-term debt and for
capital expenditures.

      Capital expenditures totaled $6.4 million in the first quarter of 1994
and are expected to be approximately $26 million for the calendar year.  In
the first quarter, a general store was purchased which had previously been
leased.  A note payable of $5.2 million was assumed from the previous owner
to finance this purchase.  Additional expenditures anticipated in 1994 include
$7 million for the purchase of a general store currently under lease and $1
million for the purchase of an agricultural products facilities subject to a
lease expiring in 1994.  The Partnership expects to increase long-term debt
by $15 million to fund the additional capital expenditures and part of the
proceeds from this debt will be added to working capital.  If the additional
long-term debt and cash generated from operations is not sufficient, capital
expenditures will be curtailed. 

Results of Operations:

      Net income in the first quarter of 1994 was $2.1 million, a sixteen year
first quarter high for the Partnership.  In the first quarter of 1993 the
Partnership experienced a loss of $550,000.  Sales and merchandising revenues
were $219 million, up from $148 million a year ago.  Interest expense was up,
due to an increase in short-term and long-term debt and higher interest rates. 
Operating, administrative and general expenses were up 5.5%, with most of the
increase coming from expanded operations including a new general store opened
in the fall of 1993.

      Sales in the grain area were $127 million in the first quarter of 1994,
up $49 million from a year ago.  The average selling price was $4.04 per
bushel up from $3.13 per bushel in the first quarter of last year.  The number
of bushels sold increased by about 25%, while margins were down.  The income
earned from holding owned grain decreased by $700,000 from the extremely high
level of income experienced in 1993.  Drying and mixing income also decreased,
but again the income earned in the first quarter last year was higher than
normal.  Storage income was up in the first quarter and this trend should
continue into the second quarter as bushels held in storage at the end of the
quarter were double that of a year ago.  Overall, merchandising revenues were
about even with last year and gross profit from the grain area was also about
even with the first quarter of 1993.

      In the agricultural products area, sales were $28 million, up $10
million from a year ago.  Wholesale sales of fertilizer products accounted for
almost all of the sales increase.  Volume was up almost 50% and average
selling prices were up 5%.  As a result of the increase in selling prices and
a decrease in material costs, margins were also up in the first quarter of
1994.  Retail sales were up and sales of agricultural supplies were about even
with last year.  As a result of the increased volume and margins from
wholesale sales, gross profit on sales of agricultural products was up 68% for
the quarter.

      Sales in the retail area were $31.6 million in the first quarter of 1994
compared to $25.4 million last year.  Sales in the Columbus market were up 13%
and sales in the Toledo market were up 2%.  The new store in Lima, Ohio,
accounted for the remainder of the sales increase.  As a result of the sales
increase and an increase in margins, gross profit in the retail area was up
28%.

      Sales of lawn care products were $16 million, up  $4 million from the
first quarter of last year.  Tons sold increased by about 45%, while average
selling prices decreased by about 8%.  Gross profit was up 25%, due to the
volume increase.  In the industrial products area sales were down about 3%
from the first quarter of 1993 and volume was down about 10%.  Gross profit
was down 14%, due to the volume and sales decrease.  In the other businesses,
sales were up due to a sale of railcars in the first quarter of 1994 and an
increase in sales in the Partnership's auto service centers.  Gross profit in
the other businesses was up about 25%.
